Hi!! I've been studying vedic astrology as well and love your blog so much! I use equal houses, but it turns out the same as whole sign except for my mars. I am an ashwini rising, jyestha sun, anuradha moon. My sun, moon, mars [mula], mercury[anuradha], venus [jyesthha] are all in my 8th, with my saturn in dhanishta the 11th and jupiter in svati the 7th house. I think i've been on the path of the higher energies of the 8th house, but i'm wondering if you have any words on 8th house stellium, and ways to conceptualize that energy. Sometimes reading the vedic texts regarding my chart gets so depressing (lol)!

Hi, thanks for your lovely message! So, it seems that your Mars falls in the 9th house per the whole sign system. Anyway, woow, that's a huge stellium in Scorpio 8th house you have!!! Yes, I understand, traditional texts can be sometimes depressing and harsh. But something everyone has to know about them is that it is very important not to take all shlokas literally. This is a big mistake of ours, we, the people of Kali Yuga. We're too stupid, we need things to be literally explained. Anyways, going back to the 8th/Scorpio stellium, let's be honest, it's not an easy place. Scorpio is the most mysterious sign of the zodiac, in other words, it is full of secrets. The same goes with the 8th house. Imagine a dark room with no light: you blindly walk there, sometimes you stumble over things and you get hurt, but at the same time, you find some treasure. Usually, it's an occult type treasure. Hence the reason why we say to these people to study the occult, astrology, sometimes, to go abroad, or study foreign spiritual practices. You can use it to heal yourself too. Remember, Scorpio is all about healing too and the 8th house is the house of longevity. This is the only way to positive this placement. If you go through a mahadasha of one of these planets in Scorpio, well, you know what to do ;) But even if it's not the case, sooner or later, you will go through an AD or PD with these planets. Sadly, some people with this placement will use it to discover people's secrets, blackmail them, or cast evil spells, or hide scandals they willingly get involved in. The truth always rises to the surface sooner or later, this is 8th house punishment (hence its bad reputation). There is so much to say about Scorpio and its mysteries. I planned an article for it. Stay tuned everyone 😉

Dushyanta & Shakuntala

Personally, this story as documented in Mahabharata is a cautionary tale against verbal-only contracts. You should always get things in writing/have neutral witnesses.

The way Dushyanta mansplains, manipulates and basically coerces Shakuntala into being intimate with him is a terrifying read. This is a testament to how women must be overly cautious even now while negotiating any deal.

The first thing Dushyanta does (after finding Shakuntala alone, and gauging exactly how long her father will be gone), is that he confirms her caste status.

Laughable, considering the glass house he has in his skeleton closet (this part is not his fault, but it sure is ironic how he uses the same regressive logic to evaluate the worth of Shakuntala, which can be used to disqualify him from his throne itself if one was feeling vile enough).

The moment that he is assured of her 'good breeding', Dushyanta starts cornering her. While his tone is sweet and polite, it's clear that he intends to fully exploit the fact that he's the local King and Shakuntala is just a law-fearing subject (a young and naive one at that).

Shakuntala however isn't completely clueless. Once it is clear that Dushyanta is in no mood to wait for her father to return (rather he wishes to finish the 'deed' as soon as possible and then run), Shakuntala exacts a promise that Dushyanta will make their future offspring the yuvaraja.

Solid plan. Only one problem, Shakuntala didn't think Dushyanta would be so brazen as to completely deny the whole encounter.

So, when she presents herself and her Sarvadamana in Allahabad, Dushyanta's words hit her like a metaphorical kick in the teeth.

Dushyanta, among other grossly misogynistic comments, calls into question the character- both Shakuntala's and her mother's. He penalizes her for her father's dodgy track record and her mother's perceived lack of morals, by invoking their names and stories to discredit both her honour and honesty.

It is then, that Shakuntala becomes a (n unnecessarily) strong heroine, standing up for both herself and her mother, all the while defending her son's right to his father's throne.

In doing so, dishing it right back to Dushyanta, she brings up the disparity in their births (it's nice to see Shakuntala being proud of her mum...even though that relationship too is a can of worms). She asserts that Dushyanta would not be doing her son a favour if he accepts him now and here, because her son is perfectly capable of taking, in due time, what is owed to him.

Just as she is about to leave, there is this shloka.

In Dr N P Bhaduri's research, he mentions that this shloka is old and unchanged in multiple scriptures. In fact, as per his understanding, it might be pre-Vedic.

Bharasva Putram Dushyanta |

Mavasangstha Shakuntalam ||

Tanchasya Dhata Garbhasya |

Satyamaha Shakuntala ||

In essence, in breaking the metaphor, I assume Dushyanta's ministers remind him of the social clout of Kanva (and that he so callously dragged one of the most powerful rajarshis' name through the mud) and by extension the damage Shakuntala can really do with (both of) her father's help in a Brahman-dominated society, and hence they advise him to give up the ruse and accept both mother and son.

In fact, that is where Bharata gets his name (the bold portion of the shloka)....Bhara (Bharasva) + Ta (Dushyanta).

After the fact obviously Dushyanta gives a very Rama-like excuse...wanted to test her piety, gods' approvals blah blah. As a headcanon, I like to believe that Shakuntala never really forgave him (because that sets a terrible precedent), and neither did Bharata.

As a moral, I would repeat, have written contracts, pre-nups+post-nups, read all the pages, call witnesses and make sure you're actually legally married. Basically, know your rights or you may end up fighting your own case in a biased court sans lawyer.

Kaal Sarp Dosha is not bad always, explained in detail with examples

Vedic astrology says in detail about different Doshas caused by curses from past lives. This Kaal sarpa Yoga/Dosha is one such which is blown out of proportion by many for obvious reasons, people with this Yoga are observed to suffer from hardship and delays in their life for some time, But not always.

Agre Rahuratho KethuSarve Madhyagata graham

Yogaya Kaala Sarpa aakhyam,Nripa Sasya Vinashanam

The meaning of the Shloka. If Rahu is in front & Kethu is at last while all other planets are in (hemmed) between, then this combination is called Kaala Sarpa Yoga results in Death of King or Destruction of grains.

It is clear and must be concluded that the above mentioned shloka has nothing to do with personal astrology (Jhatakha Jyotisha) but is related to mundane astrology (Rashtriya Jyotisha)

I wish to make it little elaborated so as readers get a fair idea of this Yoga and its short comings, so as refrain from showering money on greedy people making use of it..

How is Kaala Sarpa Yoga Formed?

Sarvanabhogasthishta thiyagu Sikhino, Anthralarashigatha 'Malyavadanthararahithah Yathathatha Kaalasarpa Yogayala

Anulomavilomathkala Dwidhoyam Kaalasarpa aa Yogacha Anthoykthaschanistom karithi Poorvomahasubada

Sampoornasakala vibhavaha Samastha Nripavandhithakhri Kamalayuga Rajadhirajarajo Virajathi Kaalasarpa Yogabhavah

Definition

“If all the 7 planets (Surya, Chandra, Budha,Kuja, Guru Shukra and Shani) are placed/hemmed between Rahu and Kethu at the lower part like a Chain (mala) in the natal chart then this yoga called Kaalasarpa is formed.

Condition

1) When all the planets within the orbit of Rahu and Kethu.

2) Rahu should be at the upper end and Kethu at the lower end.( that is anti clock wise)

3) When there is no planet outside the arch that is all the planets are inside the stomach of head (Rahu ) and tail Kethu. (as in image below A )

4) When there is no planet conjuncting Rahu or Kethu at head or tail house .

5) All the seven planets should face Rahu ,which is always retrograde.

. Complete Kaala Sarpa Yoga is formed only when half of the chart is unoccupied by planets. Even if one planet is outside the Rahu Kethu Axis then there is No Kaala Sarpa Yoga.

There are two situation arising out of this as mentioned in the above shloka

A ) If all the planets are moving towards the head Rahu which is powerful.

B ) If all the planets are moving towards tail end Kethu. which is not so potent .

It must be noted that there are two opinions of this whole issue among the experts,

Some who think it is a genuine Yoga and should be treated like any other Yoga, while

There are others who think this is mere Dosha and not to feel as dreaded.

The positions of Rahu Kethu in the horoscope shed light towards this.

What does the sacred texts says on this ?

Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra says, (on Sarpa dosha ) Atha purvajanma shapadyotana adhyayah , Meaning that is inherited by previous birth,

which is prominent Dosha /Shapa originated by killing of snakes, breaking their eggs or their hide outs set ablaze in previous births. Indication is available in the horoscope by the placement and condition of Rahu.

Putrasthanagate Rahau kujena cha nireekshite l

Kujakshetragate va api sarpashapat sutakshayah ll

Translated as

If Rahu is placed in the 5th house, aspect by Mars /Kuja, or

If Rahu is posited in the 5th house is the house of mars /Kuja, Then the children will be destroyed due to the curse of serpent. The effects of such placements are delay , childlessness, Fear from snakes and Snake bites etc.

The important house to be seen for this purpose is the fifth house.

BPHS Sarpa Shapa (Chapter 34-35) says it all in 18 Shlokas and

The effects for destruction of children are based on these combinations of planets. Remedial measures include worship of the Serpentine forces (Snake God)

The Effects of Kaala Sarpa Dosha

The native having Kaala Sarpa Yoga suffers from mental unrest, hurdles in gain of wealth, barriers in having children and uninterrupted disputes in married life.

Usually the native gets tendency of seeing haunted dreams with different fears and worries.

The native does not get full reward of his talents. Normally the success in work is delayed.

Sudden loss of money or prestige is an indication of this Yoga. The native without any reason suffers from some ailments diseases that are delayed and cured by medicine.

This Dosha also cause difficulty in nurturing relationships, Career related issues and some times sudden death of some family members.

Since Rahu and Kethu are placed at 180° apart twelve different types of Kaala Sarpa Yoga can be formed. Sheshanaga Kaala Sarpa Yoga as mentioned below.

When Rahu occupies the twelfth house and Kethu posited in the 6th house this Yoga arises. Then the native reels with persistent problem relating to litigation with many enemies and health related issues.

Cancellation of Kaala Sarpa dosha ( Dosha Bangha) and Raja Yoga

The effect of Kaala Sarpa Yoga gets canceled /diluted

⦁ If Rahu or Kethu conjoins with any planet either in the Lagna or in the 7th house from the Lagna, results in a partial cancellation of the Yoga’s occurance ,and results in Raja Yoga at the respective attributed house. The native will enjoy either good or bad according to the dispositions of the Lords of the ascendant and the 7th house in the natal horoscope. The impact of the Kaala Sarpa Yoga is greatly minimized.

⦁ If three or more planets are exalted or in Parivartana (Mutual house Exchange ) or the lords of the 2nd, 4th, 9th and 10th occupy the Trikona or Kendra houses, without debilitation, inimical positions or aspected by a malefic Then too impact of the Kaala Sarpa Yoga is negligible.

Dosha Bangha Here Mars and Venus exchange houses so as does Sun and Moon which make the Kaala Sarpa yoga impact reduced) (Experts in this subject kindly excuse me for adding the basics as this is meant for beginners too.)

Sun Moon and Jupiter are in exalted position which attributes partial cancellation.

Uttara Kalamritha by Kalidasa gives information about Rahu Kethu giving beneficial results in such Yogas. ( This is added as requested by Martin)

(1) If posited with strength Rahu and Kethu produce effects similar to the planet who owns an inauspicious house like 6,8,12

In whose house they are positioned or with whom they are conjoined.

The Lords of Kendra and Trikona houses, if not conjoined with Rahu and Kethu produces beneficial results.

The effects will be contrary, if Rahu and Kethu in spite of their malefic nature becoming benefic by virtue of their position in certain houses or association with certain planets.

(2) Rahu and Kethu become auspicious when they occupy a Trine/ Trikona or Kendra or when they are associated with the Lord of that particular Kendra or trikona House in which they are positioned.

They also prove beneficial when they conjoin with the Lords of any Kendra or Trikona House.

If the Lord of the 9th own the 8th or12th House, or if the Lord of the 9th and the 10th in the above circumstances were to conjoin with the Lord of the 9th or 12th, then the (above said) auspiciousness of the Yoga is lost.

(3) If Rahu or Kethu and the Lord of a Trikona are positioned in the 9th or 10th house, or if one of them is in the 9th or the other in the 10th or vice versa, the Yoga will cause immense prosperity to the native. Even a conjunction of Rahu and Kethu with the lord of a Trikona will prove beneficial.

In the above circumstance Rahu and Kethu as well as the planet conjoined with them will prove beneficial. If a planet who is inauspicious associated by relationship with Rahu and Kethu then the Bhukti of the Yoga Karaka Graha will prove adverse.

Hope that helps

However these Yoga also got mystical powers which are good to lift a person to Zenith of Fame as well. Many of the world famous personalities got this Kaala Sarpa yoga/Dosha giving them fame and great powers. Some personalities with This Dosha/Yoga are :

Nehru who struggled till 54th year grabbed power and rose to prominence.

Dhirubhai Ambani who had powerful Shani in his own sign in the house of wealth in birth chart and Sun in his own sign in ascendant in Navamsha which is divisional of wealth. (Proving other powerful Yoga can subdue Kaala Sarpa Yoga in respective fields.)

Margaret Thatcher (Former British Prime Minister) Nelson Mandela (Former South African President) Alfred Hitchcock (British film director and producer) Rajinikanth ,Chiranjeevi ,Sachin Tendulkar etc are some .

[ad_1] Prime Minister Narendra Modi was welcomed by Brazilian Vedic scholars chanting Sanskrit mantras upon his arrival in Brazil for the G20 summit on Monday. The Vedic scholars, comprising men and women of all ages, sang melodious Sanskrit shlokas in PM Modi’s presence. They were dressed in traditional Indian attire, and the Prime Minister keenly listened to their harmonious recitation. #WATCH | People from Brazil welcome Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Rio de Janeiro, with Sanskrit chants. pic.twitter.com/i8VX6BiPZb — ANI (@ANI) November 18, 2024 According to the Ministry of External Affairs, there is significant interest in India’s culture, religion, performing arts, and philosophy in Brazil. Organizations like the Ramakrishna Mission, ISKCON, Satya Sai Baba, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, and the Bhakti Vedanta Foundation have active chapters in Brazil. Indian philosophy and spirituality were among the first aspects of Indian culture to influence Brazil, resonating with the country’s colourful folkloric traditions and joyous festivities. Upon PM Modi’s arrival at Hotel Nacional, he received a warm welcome, including a traditional Dandiya ceremony performed by dancers in vibrant Gujarati attire. Members of the Indian diaspora greeted him with gifts, waved Indian flags, and displayed his pictures to express their enthusiasm for his visit. Speaking to ANI, the Vedic scholars underlined the influence of the Vedas on their lives. “I started about 10 years ago. I could not see any meaning in my life at the time. When I started studying Vedas, I realised who I was. I am a little bit nervous but happy,” Jenifer Scholles, a Vedic scholar, said. Vedic scholar Jonas Masetti, also known as Acharya Vishwanatha, said, “Many people in Brazil connect with Vedic culture and Indian culture. The first time they hear mantras, they feel great joy and peace in their hearts. Many students learn Sanskrit, mantras, and the stories of Ramayan and Mahabharat.” PM Modi is in Brazil to attend the 19th G20 Leaders’ Summit, scheduled for November 18 and 19. As a Troika member, India plays a significant role in shaping the agenda, building on the momentum from its G20 presidency last year. In a statement, PM Modi expressed optimism about Brazil’s leadership in continuing the focus on the Global South’s priorities. “Last year, India’s successful Presidency elevated the G20 to people’s G20 and mainstreamed the priorities of the Global South. This year, Brazil has built upon India’s legacy. I look forward to meaningful discussions aligned with our vision of ‘One Earth, One Family, One Future,'” he said. PM Modi also plans to use the summit to strengthen bilateral ties with other world leaders. [ad_2] Source link

Nava Chandi Homam: The Best Guide to the Sacred Ritual

In the vast tapestry of Hindu rituals and ceremonies, the Nava Chandi Homam holds a prominent place. This powerful Vedic ritual is dedicated to Goddess Chandi, an embodiment of Durga, who is revered as the destroyer of evil and protector of the righteous. The Nava Chandi Homam is not just a simple fire sacrifice; it is a profound spiritual practice that invokes the divine energies of the Goddess to bring peace, prosperity, and protection to the participants.

The Nava Chandi Homam is a highly revered and elaborate ritual that involves the chanting of the Devi Mahatmyam (also known as Durga Saptashati or Chandi Path), which is a collection of 700 verses extolling the glory and power of the Goddess. The ritual is known for its efficacy in removing obstacles, nullifying negative energies, and bestowing blessings upon those who partake in it. This article delves into the significance, process, and benefits of performing the Nava Chandi Homam, offering a detailed understanding of this ancient practice.

Significance of Nava Chandi Homam

The word "Chandi" is derived from the Sanskrit root "Chand," which means fierce or intense. Goddess Chandi is a fierce aspect of Shakti, the primordial cosmic energy, and is often depicted as a warrior goddess who fights and vanquishes evil forces. The Nava Chandi Homam is particularly significant because it invokes the nine forms of Durga, known as Nava Durga, each representing a different aspect of the divine feminine energy. These nine forms are Shailaputri, Brahmacharini, Chandraghanta, Kushmanda, Skandamata, Katyayani, Kalaratri, Mahagauri, and Siddhidatri.

The Nava Chandi Homam is performed to seek the blessings of these nine forms of Durga for protection, prosperity, and overall well-being. It is believed that by performing this homam, one can overcome difficult challenges, remove negative energies, and attain spiritual growth. The ritual is also known to bring peace and harmony to families, resolve conflicts, and fulfill desires.

One of the key aspects of the Nava Chandi Homam is the recitation of the Devi Mahatmyam. This text narrates the three great battles fought by Goddess Durga against the demons Mahishasura, Shumbha, and Nishumbha, symbolizing the victory of good over evil. The chanting of these verses during the homam is believed to invoke the divine presence of the Goddess, filling the environment with positive vibrations and divine energy.

The Devi Mahatmyam and Its Importance

The Devi Mahatmyam, also known as Durga Saptashati or Chandi Path, is a key component of the Nava Chandi Homam. This ancient text is part of the Markandeya Purana and is composed of 700 verses (shlokas) divided into 13 chapters. The Devi Mahatmyam is considered one of the most important scriptures in the Shakta tradition, which is devoted to the worship of the Divine Mother.

The text narrates the stories of the Goddess's battles against various demons, each representing different forms of ignorance, ego, and negative tendencies within humans. The three primary episodes in the Devi Mahatmyam are:

Madhu-Kaitabha Vadh: The killing of the demons Madhu and Kaitabha by Goddess Mahakali, who emerges from the anger of Vishnu.

Mahishasura Mardini: The slaying of the buffalo demon Mahishasura by Goddess Durga, symbolizes the victory of divine power over brute force and ignorance.

Shumbha-Nishumbha Vadh: The destruction of the demons Shumbha and Nishumbha by the Goddess, representing the triumph of spiritual wisdom over ego and pride.

Each of these episodes symbolizes the victory of divine forces over negative influences, and the chanting of these verses during the Nava Chandi Homam is believed to invoke the protective and benevolent energies of the Goddess.

The Ritual of Nava Chandi Homam

The Nava Chandi Homam is a highly structured and elaborate ritual that requires precise execution by learned priests or purohits. The ritual is typically performed in temples or homes by those seeking divine intervention in overcoming challenges or seeking blessings for prosperity and well-being.

The Nava Chandi Homam can be broadly divided into the following stages:

Preparatory Rituals:

Sankalpa: The ritual begins with the Sankalpa, where the devotees or Ajman (the person for whom the homam is being performed) make a solemn vow or intention to perform the homam for specific purposes, such as health, wealth, or spiritual growth.

Ganesha Puja: A worship of Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles, is performed to ensure that the Homam proceeds smoothly without any hindrances.

Kalasha Sthapana: The setting up of the Kalasha (sacred pot) is done, symbolizing the presence of the divine. The Kalasha is filled with water, and a coconut is placed on top, adorned with mango leaves and flowers.

Main Ritual:

Agni Prathisthapana: The fire or Agni is invoked in the homa kunda (sacred fire pit) with the chanting of Vedic mantras. The fire is considered a direct link to the divine, and offerings made into the fire are believed to reach the gods.

Navavarana Puja: This is a special worship involving the nine enclosures of the Sri Chakra, which is a powerful yantra (mystical diagram) representing the divine feminine energy. The nine enclosures are worshipped with mantras, and offerings are made to each.

Chandi Path: The recitation of the Devi Mahatmyam is done, usually by a group of priests. The chanting is accompanied by various offerings into the fire, such as ghee, herbs, and other sacred items. The power of collective chanting is believed to amplify the benefits of the Homam.

Homam: As the Chandi Path is recited, offerings are made into the fire at specific intervals. The priests chant the mantras, and each offering is believed to please the Goddess and invoke her blessings.

Purnahuti:

The ritual concludes with the Purnahuti, the final offering, which symbolizes the completion of the Homam. A special offering, such as a coconut or a bundle of sacred herbs, is made into the fire.

The Purnahuti is accompanied by the chanting of auspicious mantras and prayers for the well-being of all beings.

Aarti and Prasad Distribution:
